I'm calling it: today is going to be a good day.

It is the last day of summer vacation. All five hundred of my kids are still sleeping. I am up and actuallydressed. Ok, not wearing any undergarments I ADMIT but I am not in pajamas. I will probably edit this out.

I'm closely watching the video monitor on Ivy in bed and rolled our two huge cans out to the curb for garbage/recycling pick up. And then quietly made myself an iced chai with rice milk and whipped cream and cinnamon and a straw.

this made me smile for you. it is such a relief to even just get out of pajamas (i think ESPECIALLY without undergarments!) before embracing all the love & needingness. sure, that's not a word...but you know, right?!

Sounds like a great start. I hope it is still going well. I feel like every time i "call it" as you say, it either ends up really being a great day OR I end up laughing at how ridiculous it quickly becomes:)

I read your blog occasionally (and love it!), but this is the first time I'd heard that you had a homebirth! I really enjoy reading these stories as I had my first homebirth last December, and just blogged about it a few months ago. It was amazing. Good stuff.
